Actress Sharmila Tagore married cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi at the peak of her career, when she was just 24 years old. Their love story had fairy-like charm.

After dating for a while, when Mansoor proposed to her, Sharmila jokingly set a condition: if he wanted a “yes”, he would have to hit three sixes in his next match. Mansoor initially laughed it off, but he took the challenge seriously and achieved exactly that on the field. Even after marriage, instability continued in their relationship.

Sharmila reportedly woke up a little earlier than her husband to do some make-up, ensuring that she woke up to “Sharmila Tagore”.
